Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRole of Plasmid in Production of Acetobacter Xylinum BiofilmsAbbas Rezaee, Sanaz Solimani, Mehdi ForozandemogadamAcetobacter xylinum has the ability to produce cellulotic biofilms. Bacterial cellulose is expected to be used in many industrial or biomedical materials for its unique characteristics. A. xylinum contains a complex system of plasmid DNA molecules. A 44 kilobases (kb) plasmid was isolated in wild type of A. xylinum. To improve the cellulose producing ability of A. xylinum, role of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDifferential Gene Expression of Peroxide Resistant Protein (AhpC) in Planktonic and Biofilm State of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli CellsOmar Sadik Shalal, Ani-Simona SevastreThe gastrointestinal tract seems to be the primary reservoir of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) in humans. UPEC strains harbor the Urinary Tract (UT) and cause Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) which might represent a serious threat to human life. To counteract with the damage caused by the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), bacterial strains produce various enzymes and proteins like Alkyl hydroperoxide … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 13 Oct 2023 · 5,324 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAntibiotic Resistance in Co-Culture Biofilm of Listeria monocytogenes J0161Prem Saran Tirumalai, Soam PrakashProblem statement: Do naturally group-living bacteria express genes the same way as they do in lab grown pure cultures? An intriguing question. Listeria monocytogenes, a dreaded pathogen has been and continues to be a subject of study with reference to gene expressions. However, all studies concerning the gene expression of L. monocytogenes have been done on pure culture states. Our … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2012 · 10,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCytocompatibility and Antimicrobial Properties of Silver Nanoparticles-Loaded AMPs in the Oral CavityYanli Lv, Weikai ZhangPostoperative infection following oral metal implantation is a key factor that affects the success rate of surgery. This infection is mainly caused by bacterial biofilms. Traditional single antibacterial coatings have limitations, including a narrow antibacterial spectrum and poor cytotoxicity or stability. This study combined silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and the synthetic antimicrobial peptide GL13K using electrostatic self-assembly technology to create a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2026 · 1,685 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractBacterial Biofilm Persistence in Human Jawbone Following Tooth Extraction: Implications of Surgical Debridement and Resident Population-Shift for Oral ImplantsStephen Nelson, Honghua Hu et al.Intra-radicular infection theory assumes that when an infected tooth is extracted, the main source of infection is removed and any residual contaminating bacteria are killed by the immune response, then normal healing ensues. This study investigated whether bacteria and bacterial biofilms persisted in deep bone space following tooth extraction. The study was conducted on two adult male patients seeking dental … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 31 May 2023 · 6,861 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Properties of Biopolymers from Corn Starch with Addition of Microalgae Spirulina platensisJúllia Koury Abreu, Loraynne Coelho Pereira, José Izaquiel Santos da SilvaThe discovery of the environmental impacts caused by petroleum-based polymers has led to the use of natural polymers gaining more and more space. Naturally occurring polymers, also known as biopolymers, are chemical compounds produced by living things or raw materials from renewable energy sources. Their main advantage is decomposition, while polymers from fossil and non-renewable energies can take hundreds of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2023 · 6,026 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbout the Cyanobacteria and StromatolitesFlorian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Liviu Marian UngureanuStromatolites are layered biochemical accretionary structures formed in shallow water by the trapping, binding and cementation of sedimentary grains in biofilms (specifically microbial mats), especially cyanobacteria. Stromatolites occur widely in the fossil record of the Precambrian but are rare today. Life on Earth was born at least 3.7 billion years ago, but since then the number of living things has … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2022 · 8,230 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractOn Destructive Peri-implant Bone LossAndre J. ViljoenDestructive peri-implant bone loss is distressing for both the patient and the treating dentist(s). In severe cases peri-implant bone loss may cause jawbone mutilation, making re-treatment highly complex or impossible and violating the treatment philosophy of “first, do no harm”. There are a multitude of causes of bone loss around a dental implant. These include, but are not limited to, … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Nov 2019 · 7,472 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Certain Disinfectants and Antibiotics on the Biofilm Formed by Staphylococcus Aureus Isolated from Medical Devices at the University Hospital Center of Sidi Bel Abbes (Algeria)Ibtissem Kara Terki, Hafida Hassaine, Assia Kara Terki et al.Staphylococcus aureus is one of the species that are most frequently isolated from medical devices. The ability to produce a biofilm is an important step in the pathogenesis of these staphylococci; biofilm formation is strongly dependent on the environmental conditions and also on the antibiotics and disinfectants used in the treatment of infections. In this study, 28 staphylococcus aureus isolated … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2019 · 7,171 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Sucrose in the Development of Oral Biofilm in a Simulated Mouth SystemWan Nordini Hasnor Wan Ismail, Fathilah Abdul Razak, Zubaidah Hj Abdul RahimThe development of oral biofilm consisting of early settlers and late settlers in the presence and absence of sucrose using a simulated mouth model was investigated. The experiments were carried out by growing the early settlers’ biofilm consisting of Strep. mitis and Strep. sanguinis and late settlers’ biofilm of Strep. mutans in the simulated mouth system. Experiments using three different … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,114 accessesView PDFCite
